Whoever seems to himself to have understood the Scriptures in such a way that he does not build up that double love of God and neighbor has not yet understood.

Hell was made for the inquisitive.

Trust the past to the mercy of God, the present to His love, and the future to His providence.

Whoever, therefore, thinks that he understands the divine scriptures or any part of them so that it does not build on the double love of God and of our neighbor does not understand it at all. Thus a man supported by faith, hope, and charity, with an unshaken hold upon them does not need the scriptures. . . And many live by these three things in solitude without books.

Singing is a lover's thing.

Do what you can and pray for what you cannot yet do.

What is grace? I know until you ask me; when you ask me, I do not know.
